The capabilities of the near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) for obtaining high resolution lateral topographical images as well as for mapping the spectroscopic and optical properties of a sample below the diffraction limit of light have made it an attractive research field for most researchers dealing with optical characteristics of materials in nano scales. The apertured NSOM technique involves confining light into an aperture of sub-wavelength size and using it to illuminate a sample maintained at a distance equal to a fraction of the sub-wavelength aperture (near-field region). In this article, we present a setup for developing NSOM using a cantilever with a sub-wavelength aperture at the tip. A single laser is used for both cantilever deflection measurement and near-field sample excitation. The laser beam is focused at the apex of the cantilever where a portion of the beam is reflected and the other portion goes through the aperture and causes local near-field optical excitation of the sample, which is then raster scanned in the near-field region. The reflected beam is used for an optical beam deflection technique that yields topographical images by controlling the probe-sample in nano-distance. The fluorescence emissions signal is detected in far-field by the help of a silicon avalanche photodiode. The images obtained using this method show a good correlation between the topographical image and the mapping of the fluorescence emissions.

One of the most reliable and simplest tools for structural vibration control in civil engineering is Tuned Mass Damper, TMD. Provided that the frequency and damping parameters of these dampers are tuned appropriately, they can reduce the vibrations of the structure through their generated inertia forces, as they vibrate continuously. To achieve the optimal parameters of TMD, many different methods have been provided so far. In old approaches, some formulas have been offered based on simplifying models and their applied loadings while novel procedures need to model structures completely in order to obtain TMD parameters. In this paper, with regard to the nonlinear decision-making of fuzzy systems and their enough ability to cope with different unreliability, a method is proposed. Furthermore, by taking advantage of both old and new methods a fuzzy system is designed to be operational and reduce uncertainties related to models and applied loads. To design fuzzy system, it is required to gain data on structures and optimum parameters of TMDs corresponding to these structures. This information is obtained through modeling MDOF systems with various numbers of stories subjected to far and near field earthquakes. The design of the fuzzy systems is performed by three methods: look-up table, the data space grid-partitioning, and clustering. After that, rule weights of Mamdani fuzzy system using the look-up table are optimized through genetic algorithm and rule weights of Sugeno fuzzy system designed based on grid-partitioning methods and clustering data are optimized through ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). By comparing these methods, it is observed that the fuzzy system technique based on data clustering has an efficient function to predict the optimal parameters of TMDs. In this method, average of errors in estimating frequency and damping ratio is close to zero. Also, standard deviation of frequency errors and damping ratio errors decrease by 78% and 4.1% respectively in comparison with the look-up table method. While, this reductions compared to the grid partitioning method are 2.2% and 1.8% respectively. In this research, TMD parameters are estimated for a 15-degree of freedom structure based on designed fuzzy system and are compared to parameters obtained from the genetic algorithm and empirical relations. The progress up to 1.9% and 2% under far-field earthquakes and 0.4% and 2.2% under near-field earthquakes is obtained in decreasing respectively roof maximum displacement and its RMS ratio through fuzzy system method compared to those obtained by empirical relations.

서해안에서 보고되고 있는 다수의 해수면 변동 곡선들은 모두 상대해수면(Relative sea-level) 변동곡선으로 사료된다. 서해안의 상대해수면 변동곡선들은 크게 1) 홀로세 해수면은 현 해수면보다 높은 적이 없었다는 학설과 2) 중기 홀로세에 해수면은 현재 해수면보다 수m 높았으며, 이 후 서서히 하강하면서 현해수면에 도달하였다는 학설로 대표된다. 전자는 절대해수면 곡선과 대비되는 반면, 후자는 빙하로부터 원거리에 위치하고 있는 대륙의 연안 역에서 나타나는 상대해수면곡선과 대비된다. 해수면 곡선 복원도에 활용된 자료들을 검토하여 보았을 때, 대부분 기 발표된 논문의 자료들을 인용하였으나, 그 인용에 있어 분석자료의 선택적 사용으로 서로 다른 결과들이 도출되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 후자의 자료들은 모두 군산이북지역으로부터 얻어진 것으로, 중기 홀로세 이후 서서히 하강하는 해수면 변동곡선이 군산 이북지역을 대표하고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 서해안 상대해수면 곡선은 빙하평형조절(GIA:Glacio isostatic adjustment)과 이에 수반된 중력 끌림(Gravitational attraction)에 의한 요인뿐만 아니라 그 이외의 지엽적으로 발생하는 지구조 운동 등에 의하여 변동될 수 있다. 그러므로, 서해안역의 상대해수면곡선 양상이 원거리 지역에서 나타나는 것과 대비 되지만, 서해안의 활발한 지진활동과 한반도에 분포하는 다수의 단층 존재를 미루어 볼 때, 지역적으로 발생하는 지구조 운동이 상대해수면 변동에 영향을 끼칠 수 있었을 것으로 예상된다.

We investigated the characteristics of temperature variations under different land covers (paddy field, upland, urban park, and urban residential area) during hot summer (July 15 to August 19, 2005). The temperatures were monitored using data loggers at one hour intervals in study sites. The mean temperature generally increased with the distance from edge of paddy fields, being $1.5^{\circ}C$ higher at a site 170-m far from paddy fields than at a paddy field area at 22 h. The mean daily temperatures in the study period followed the ordo. of paddy field $(26.6^{\circ}C)$ < upland $(27.0^{\circ}C)$ < park $(27.5^{\circ}C)$ < residential area $(28.0^{\circ}C)$. The paddy field area has shown remarkable cooling effects compared to the residential area: Mean duration of temperature below $25^{\circ}C$ in the paddy field area was longer (8.6 hrs) than in the residential area; The time to fall to below $25^{\circ}C$ in the paddy field area was sooner (22.4 hr) than in the residential area; Mean daily minimum temperature in the paddy field area was much lower $(2.4^{\circ}C)$ than in the residential area. More research is needed to better clarify the mechanism of cooling effect of a paddy field area by investigating heat balance of a paddy field.

초점 MVDR(Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) 빔 형성은 근접장에서 표적의 위치를 추정하는데 적용될 수 있다. 하지만 배열을 구성하는 센서의 수가 많아질수록 공분산 행렬의 역행렬을 구하는데 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 부 배열의 원거리 빔 형성기 출력들로부터 빔 공간을 형성하고 이를 이용하여 초점 MVDR 빔 형성을 수행하는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 방법의 공간 분해능이 기존의 지연 합 빔 형성기를 이용한 경우 보다 높게 나타났다.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has drawn much attention due to its many advantages. PVDF shows high mechanical strength and flexibility, thermal stability, and good piezoelectricity enabling its application to various fields such as sensors, actuators, and energy transducers. Further studies have been conducted on PVDF in the form of thin films. The thin films exhibit different ionic conductivity according to the number of pores within the film, letting these films to be applied as electrolytes or separators of batteries. Porous PVDF membranes are also easily processed, usually made by using electrospinning. However, a large portion of researches were conducted using PVDF membranes produced by far field electrospinning, which is not a well-controlled experimental method. In this paper, we use near field electrospinning (NFES) process for more controlled, small-scaled, mesh type PVDF structures of nano to micro fibers fabricated by controlling process parameters and investigate the properties of such membranous structures. These membranes vary according to geometrical shape, pore density, and fiber thickness. We then measured the mechanical strength and piezoelectric characteristic of the structures. With various geometries in the fiber structures and various scales in the fibers, these types of structures can potentially lead to broader applications for stretchable electronics and dielectric electro active polymers.

The performance of passive conductor loop (hereinafter 'loop') method which is used to mitigate the magnetic field around overhead power transmission line is dependent on its configuration and installed location, which are affected by installation conditions of the loops such as objective areas and levels of magnetic field mitigation. Thus, because the design problem of loops is difficult and cumbersome by variety of their configuration and complexity of magnetic coupling mechanism, it is need to be formulated as a computer-based optimum problem to determine the most effective and reasonable loop model satisfying the installation conditions. In this paper, the optimum locations of the multi-wired multiple loops including series reactance compensations are searched by using the genetic algorithm (GA) to mitigate effectively the magnetic fields of relatively near points or far points from transmission line at Am height, and the magnetic fields mitigation characteristics of each loop are analyzed in the view of magnitude, direction and phase of cancellation fields by polarized vector concept to identify their adequacy and rationality for the installation objectives.

본 논문에서는 바닥고정형 선배열센서를 이용하여 다중경로 신호를 이용한 근거리표적의 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다중경로를 통하여 근거리 표적의 신호가 센서에 도달하는 경우 각 신호의 원추각이 다르므로 신호들의 원추각과 시간차를 추정해서 3차원 표적의 위치를 추정할 수 있다. 원거리표적으로 가정하고 추정한 원추각과 신호들의 시간차에 대한 관계식을 유도하였으며 이들을 연립하여 표적의 위치를 추정하였다. 그러나 표적이 위치한 기하학적인 위치에 따라 신호들의 원추각이 거의 같아지는 지점이 존재한다. 이 경우 부가적인 1차원 탐색으로 표적의 위치를 추정하였다.

An array based, outward monitoring, ultrasonic guided wave based SHM technique using a single transmitter and multiple receivers (STMR), with a small footprint is discussed here. The previous implementation of such SHM arrays used a phase-reconstruction algorithm (that is similar to the beam-steering algorithm) for the imaging of reflectors. These algorithms were found to have a limitation during the imaging of defects/reflectors that are present in the "near-field" of the array. Here, the "near-field" is defined to be approximately 3-4 times the diameter of the compact array. This limitation is caused by approximations in the beam-steering reconstruction algorithm. In this paper, a migration-based reconstruction algorithm, with dispersion correction in the frequency domain, is discussed. Simulation and experimental studies are used to demonstrate that this algorithm improves the reconstruction in the "near-field" without decreasing the ability to reconstruct defects in the "far-field" in both isotropic and anisotropic plates.
